    Loose change Prob's

    I don't know about you lot.I'm tired of rumaging around in the bottom of my sporran after those everso elusive coin's. Which always seem to just disappear when loose in the sporran. Like they were never there.

    I have found a coin Wallet that has the perfect sporran shape. So I posted a picture for you to see in my gallery.

    It's no doubt, old news to you old-hands
    All the Best.....David.

    great idea freelander. I use something similar as well. For those that can't find a change carrier try using the container from a roll of 24 exposure film. I found that it fit nicely in the bottom of the sporran, and kept all my change organized.

    'Fraid you are right there, Freelander. I used to carry all my loose coins in one of the little plastic bags that the Banks use for that purpose. Then, my good friend, Dave W. brought me one exactly like yours from a Mediterranean holiday last year. I won't go anywhere without it!!!

    Although it is in perfect condition now, it will at some time in the future fall apart ....... and I have never seen another like it for sale here in the UK. I could be forced to return to using those plastic bags - when the time comes!!!

    These are known as tray or coin purses, and are widely available at street markets etc.

    For those feeling flush with cash, most kilt retailers can sell you a kilt or sporran wallet, essentially a smaller sized wallet shaped to fit most sporrans and has the usual compartments for coins, notes, credit cards etc.

    I suppose one could always try one of these...



    Not so common as they used to be.[/url]
    Practical but no fashion statement!
